This pinball ball has LEDs embedded in the surface, which are activated (powered) when the ball rolls over a conductive track in the playfield.
I just bought a new gun that's got some LEDs in it...

Part of what makes pinball such a dynamic and exciting
game is that the ball is highly-polished solid steel. This
idea would involve a hollow or semi-hollow ball
constructed, at least in part, of much lighter materials.
Even if the metal parts were made of Tungsten (which
would eventually fracture) the ball wouldn't be heavy
enough. |

Also, the bounce would be all wrong, because the energy
wouldn't be transferred evenly through the mass of a
hollow or fenestrated ball. |

welll....maybe it's a special ball released when a
certain task is completed. I think there's room for a
few new ideas in pinball |

As do I, but I don't need another project... Having it be a
special bonus ball is a good idea. |

//fenestrated ball// sounds painful. |
